Chapter 16 — After Divorce, I Made the Chu Family Pay the Price

Half are angels. Half is evil. In my heart. Two streams of thought are frantically torn apart. On one side is a bottomless deep hatred. On one side is power and the future is right before your eyes. How should I choose? Maintain your limits? Or accompany the devil? I raised my head. Look into those deep and dangerous eyes. A long time later. I laughed.

“Director Tran.”

“Your offer is really attractive.”

“But…”

“I refuse.”

The smile on Director Tran's face stiffened. It seemed he didn't expect me to refuse. I stood up. Look him straight in the eyes. Say each word clearly.

“My enemy, I will personally report it.”

“No need for you to worry.”

“And the Chu family.”

“What they owe me.”

“I will personally reclaim each item.”

I looked at him. His eyes were cold as ice.

“You took advantage of me.”

“Calculate my plan.”

“This debt is between us.”

“It's time to reckon.”

“Do you think you're a hunter?”

“Director Tran.”

“Have you ever thought about something?”

“Mantis catches ticks.”

“The sparrow is behind.”

“You set up such a big game.”

“How can you be sure?”

“The final winner is definitely you?”

I turned around and left. Leaving Director Tran alone standing in place. His face was gloomy and scary. From today. I have a new enemy. Someone more terrifying than the Chu family. Scarier than Ton Man. But I'm not afraid. In my heart, an unprecedented fire of fighting spirit flared up. Everyone wants to see me die. They all want to kick me into the mud. I won't give you any satisfaction. I don't just want to live. But also have to live better than all of you. I walked out of the company building. Take out your phone. Called a phone number that I thought about. I will never call again in this life. Phone connected. On the other end of the line, an old but majestic voice rang out. I took a deep breath. The voice was a bit shaky.

“Hua Tinh here.”

The other end of the line was silent for a long time. It took so long that I thought he was going to hang up.

“Tieu Tinh.”

His voice carried fatigue. It also brings a bit of warmth that I haven't seen in a long time.

“Are you upset?”

Tears immediately welled up in my eyes. Everything is strong. Every disguise. They all collapsed completely because of that one sentence. I choked without a sound.

“I'm in city A.”

“I'm in a bit of trouble.”

“I... I don't know what to do anymore.”

“Go back to the old place.”

He hung up. I dried my tears. Start the car. Drive towards a manor located on the outskirts of the city. That's where I grew up. It's also the place I once risked my life to escape. An hour later. The car stopped in front of a Chinese-style villa. An old man wearing a long shirt. Stubborn spirit. Lean on the agarwood stick. Standing in front of the gate. He is Hua Van Son. My nominal father. At the same time, he is also a legend in the business world who has long since retired from the world. My biological parents. As his driver and maid. Twenty years ago. In a pre-arranged car accident. They used their lives to protect him. And died on the spot. From that day. I became his daughter. He gave me the best education. Give me the most prosperous life. At the same time, he also gave me the heaviest chains. He hoped I would inherit his business empire. Only want to become a normal person. Live the simplest life. After graduating from university. I changed my name and last name. Go to city A alone. Marry Chu Hao. I used to think I had found the happiness I wanted. Just a joke.

“Are you back?”

He looked at me. The eyes are extremely complicated. There is heartache. There is disappointment. There was also a feeling of helplessness because I refused to move forward. I nodded slightly. He sighed. In the study room. The gentle scent of sandalwood spreads. I told you everything that happened in the past three years. From the Zhou family sucking my blood. To the story of Ton Man's harm. Then Director Tran's revenge plan. Don't hide anything. He just listened quietly. There was no expression on his face. Until I finished speaking. He slowly opened his mouth.

“An old case from twenty-five years ago.”

“A woman is like a clown.”

“A shortsighted, self-righteous executive.”

“And yet you forced me to this extent?”

His voice was very calm.
